The Beat Yard:  How has 2017 been looking like for Lord Payback?

Lord Payback:  Ups and Downs....keep pushing forward no matter what.  

The Beat Yard:  What type of beats bring out the best in what you do as an artist?

Lord Payback:  I prefer beats with a fast bpm....100 bpm or over that are aggressive sounding in nature.

The Beat Yard:  What producers are you working with right now and who would you like to work with in the future?

Lord Payback:  I'm not currently working with anybody...it doesn't matter to me the name or status of a producer...If it's hot then we rock out.

The Beat Yard:  Do you usually write to the beat, or do you write the song and see if you find a beat that matches?  What is your method?

Lord Payback:  I always write to the beat. That's how you get a perfect match. I could do it any way I want but that's the proper way to do it.

The Beat Yard:  Do you buy beats?  

Lord Payback: Yes...I purchase exclusive rights.

The Beat Yard:  Do you prefer to work in the studio with a producer or just get the track and work on it at your own convenience?  

Lord Payback:  I've done both.  I usually do it at my own convenience and produce it myself, but if I am with a true producer not a beat maker and they provide valuable input then I am all for it.

The Beat Yard:  How can upcoming producers get in touch with you for beats?

Lord Payback:  Hit me up at lordpayback@gmail.com...If you do not have a written agreement or if you are not willing to sign the paperwork I provide you with...DO NOT bother to hit me up. 

The Beat Yard:  Could you tell the readers a little about your beat choices on your mixtape series Verbal Battery?

Lord Payback:  I just tried to find aggressive sounding beats that allowed me to speak about what I wanted to write about. The name of the mixtape series is Verbal Battery so obviously I wanted hard sounding tracks. I like beats that can start riots.

The Beat Yard: Is there anything else you would like to plug or shoutout?  

Lord Payback:   Check out my website www.lordpayback.com for more music and merchandise. We have a great line of t-shirts, tank tops and Hoodies with the Payback brand.
